Lemont

Lemont is one of the more historically significant communities in the Chicagoland area — a town built largely on the back of its limestone quarry industry, which provided the raw material for several of Chicago’s most iconic 19th-century structures. The historic downtown near the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal has genuine character, and the older homes in the original town center carry plumbing that reflects their age. Limestone bedrock beneath Lemont also means drainage conditions can be unusual compared to the clay-heavy soils of much of the rest of Cook County.


The Scottish Plumber handles Lemont’s residential and commercial plumbing with the same thoroughness we bring throughout the region. We conduct sewer camera inspections to understand what’s happening in aging laterals before recommending work, handle drain cleaning and sewer repair accurately, and replace galvanized and aging supply lines throughout the older sections of town. We also install water heaters and sump systems and provide flood control solutions for properties in lower-lying areas near the canal.


When you call us about a backed-up or slow sewer, our first move is to rod and clear the line — get things flowing and your home back to normal. Sewer rodding starts at just $99 when there’s an outside cleanout to rod from, a price we’ve held since we opened in 2006. While nearly everything else has gotten more expensive, our starting price hasn’t moved in nearly twenty years. Once the line is open, we follow up with a sewer video inspection to see exactly what caused the problem — tree roots, a crack, a pipe belly — and give you an honest picture of what, if anything, needs to happen next.


We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year — including holidays — so when something goes wrong at 2 a.m., you can reach us. We offer free estimates during regular business hours with no trip charge to come out. Most companies charge just to show up; we don’t. When a sewer line needs more than rodding, The Scottish Plumber is one of the most experienced trenchless sewer repair companies in Chicagoland — doing this since 2006 with thousands of repairs completed across the area. For older homes especially, pipe stent repair is worth knowing about: a precise, minimally invasive fix that spares your floors, walls, and landscaping.
